Reach for this book when your child expresses a desire to change the world but feels too small to make a difference, or when they are showing a budding interest in the 'grosser' side of science.

The story beautifully illustrates how a child's unique passion can lead to meaningful community contributions. It is an excellent choice for elementary readers who enjoy humor, hands-on learning, and stories about strong grandparent relationships. Parents will appreciate the way it balances lighthearted school-day antics with a genuine sense of responsibility and environmental stewardship.
